Commission Report (2002): Latvia   
The parliamentOver the past year, no major changes in the structure of Parliament have been reported. Parliament has been involved actively in the vital issues related to Latvia`s integration that should be addressed to muster the support of citizens for EU issues. The changes already introduced in early 2001 on rules of procedure regarding EU matters have continued to function properly. Regular meetings were held between the parliamentary secretaries and the European Integration Bureau regarding European integration issues, especially the negotiation process.In February 2002, Parliament adopted three reports on the implementation of Latvia`s Strategy for Integration into the EU. At the same time the Saeima EU Information Centre (SEUIC) opened a new office and broadened its activities. In May 2002, with a majority of more than 75%, Parliament amended the election laws, abolishing the provisions requiring citizens standing as candidates in national and local elections to be proficient in the Latvian language. © European Commission |
